Watch: Sounders’ Obafemi Martins wins MLS goal of the year

The Seattle Sounders’ season may have come to a disappointing close with a heartbreaking win — yes, win — on Sunday, but on Thursday striker Obafemi Martins was honored for providing one of the most memorable moments of the MLS campaign.

Martins led the Sounders — and finished fifth in the league — with 17 goals in the regular season as Seattle won its first Supporters’ Shield, given to the team with the best record throughout the campaign. Seattle’s quest for their first MLS Cup appearance ended in the Western Conference finals following a 2-1 victory over the Galaxy on Sunday in a series decided by the league’s new away-goal tiebreaker rule.
